If you’re working for a small company or if you simply can’t picture your future with your current employer, it may be time to move on. While its important to be viewed as a loyal employee, you also need to look out for yourself!

Writing a thorough resume when you don't have professional experience can be a challenge. But keep in mind: If you’re applying for an entry-level job, chances are many of the other applicants will be entry-level as well.

So, you’ve landed an internship. What’s next? Whether or not this is your first taste of the professional world, you’ll want to make the most of it. After all, if you play your cards right, this could lead to your ideal accounting job. Even if you get sent fetching for coffee, keep a positive attitude and try to follow these tips.

The more specific you are in your job post, the better chance you have of obtaining the right candidate. It's important to be concise and honest. Too many employers will make the mistake of creating a vague posting when staffing financial positions. Address the basics: Who, what, when, where and why? And make sure you leave the correct contact information, so the candidates know where to apply.

While talent and experience is important, obtaining a job is—in many ways—a numbers a game. Although you have some idea of what the financial staffing team is looking for from the job post, you can’t read their minds. Plus, you have no idea who else is applying for the position.
